Door Handle Loose and tightening with allen wrench does NOT work ...

Hi.

The handles are retained by tiny screws. You will need an allen key to tighten the screws. If the handle is damaged you will need to replace the part. If you need to replace the handle buy the single handle rather than the kit. The kit will be more expensive.

Please refer to video and diagram below. Click on the diagram to enlarge the picture:

try backing it out should be 2 one top one bottom take both out or back out there should be 2 bolt to tighten up. hope that helps if i remember right. jim

There should be some small Allen (Hex) screws on each bottom side of the handle. Just use a Allen wrench and tighten it up.

Use an allen wrench (hex) to remove loosen the set screws in the two handle holes. Once removed, tighten the mounting lug. Replace the handle and tighten the hex set screws.

Use an allen wrench to back off both the upper and lower set screws (Note: you do not need to back them all the way out). The handle will then easily pull away from the door. With a 1/4" socket, tighten the screws holding the upper and lower lugs on the door. Place the handle back on and tighten the upper and lower set screws.

you should have trim below and above the handle if not then and its a stainless steel door then there is small round opening on the side of the handle you'll need allen wrenches once you loosen the allen the handle slides up or down then you will be able to tighten the stud post screw then reverse the mounting -----------------be cautious of scratching the stainless steel door when removing the handles

If my memory serves me correctly, you should see two posts attached to the refrigerator door right now. The handle slips over these posts and if you look closely there is a little hole in the handle where you would insert a allen key wrench to tighten the little screw against the post protruding from the door itself. With the door handle in your hand, properly match up the correct allen wrench to fit the allen screw very snug. Realign the door handle on the protrucing posts and tighten. Once finished, you should have a tight fitting door handle again. Let us know if we can help further.....Eric

I have same problem. Just called KitchenAid and they told me I needed a T-20 torque key - you can buy it from them or at a hardware store. Good luck.

To fix this you will need an Allen wrench small one there are 2 set screws on the inside part of the handle (on side toward the center) you wil need to tighten these to fix your problem
